DUI/DWI offenders in Gardendale, TX. are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug rehabilitation facility instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for such crimes can ordinarily be rather severe, which can include jail time and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for initial offenders, the judge finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Gardendale, TX. that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other additional extreme punishment, most will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
